FALLON, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) - Churchill County Sheriff Ben Trotter tells News 4, Michael Gutierrez, of Fallon, who had been reported missing on September 24th was found dead in a secluded area by the Sheriff's Office on the morning of October 2nd.

Deputies say he had apparently traveled on foot approximately 3 miles from his vehicle, which was located about 15 miles northeast of Fallon.

Speaking of English composition classes, most, if not all of them stress that a quote, beginning and ending with quotation marks ("..."), should be delivered EXACTLY as written or spoken. So, where in the article does '"he was deceased and traveled three miles from his vehicle"' appear?
Oh, and the three dots between the quotation marks in the parenthases above is called an ellipse, and indicates that words are missing.
